Patchskiing 2022

[Vets]

This thread is long overdue. Please be patient while I get caught up.
Feel free to add your own comments as well as photos and stories of your own patchskiing adventures.
Stay tuned. After the funky winter we had things should be fairly interesting later this summer and autumn.

I'll start with one from Monitor Pass on April, 3rd.

Great photos, Vets. In the one with Zooey retrieving the stick, there is an intriguing steep, narrow pitch in the background.

Here are a couple of photos from June in the northern Front Range: One earlier in the month of a fairly long "patch", and one from just a couple of days ago of a smaller patch.

Both of those patches look like a lot fun!

Vets, congrats on the Sept. ski in a tough year -- how many months does Zooey have now?
